Spring 2010 Collections

Here's a sneak peek at some of the upcoming spring collections from the new issue of Voce. The release dates listed are for Japan and it looks like many brands will be launching in mid-January. The drugstore brands like Esprique Precious and Coffret D'Or will launch earlier in December.

Haru Jie, thanks for your catalogue here too. would like to seek your opinion on Coastalscents..it seems a lot of youtube makeup guru like to use this palette for its highly affordable price of $20 USD + for 88 color..so good to be true? but i am not sure how good are they are? wonder if you own any of CS palette and if not, what is actually stopping you? is it not pigmented enough or u heard not so good review?

thanks! would like to ask your advice to see worth buying.http://www.coastalscents.com/cfwebstore/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_id=122

Personally, I would never buy one of these palettes. The amount of product is just overwhelming and the size of the palette is just too big for my liking. The Tarte holiday palettes are hefty as well (check out my posts on Tarte Treasure Chest) but they are easier to manage than a palette with 88 shades. The Coastal Scents palettes may be cheap but the reviews are very mixed. Some people like them, some people think they are lousy. They are made in China, which explains the low price. Tarte also makes its palettes in China but I have more faith in Tarte as I have been using their products for a long time.

Hi Haru,Thanks for the review and the links you sourced for me. Yeah, I also saw mixed reviews to 88 palette and hence in a fix. I think comparing 88 to Tarte, the latter also wins more heart. I love Tarte treasure chest too and is using it since you recommended in your blog!
